Day Two...One loss side... Daulton vs. Browning....

And who are you pulling for in this match-up? :D

Thanks for the great updates. They are very much appreciated by inquiring minds who gotta know what's happening! :p

Ah, Chattanooga, one of my favorite places from days gone by. Last time I was there, which was about 25 years ago or more, I was lodging in a dry county, as I recall. So my traveling partner and I moseyed on over to a bar in town where it wasn't dry. When you put a quarter in the bar box, only 9 balls dropped out, a road player's dream. While he was taking care of business on the table, I was in an adjacent room, hanging out with the locals who were country clogging. I sure did have a blast in Chattanooga. ;)

Good luck to The Cannon, one of my favorite players and a mighty American road warrior! :)

The kid is hitting 'em mighty strong in recent times, Cheeseburger! :) Another American champion on the rise, IMHO!

Hate to hear Shannon lost. I was pulling for a Russ E/ Shannon match for the left bracket. You know I am pulling for Russ, him being my horse and all. I wish I could have made it back today but I'll see you guys in a couple of weeks.(kool-aid in hand)

Later,

Holy smokes, the kid is making a very strong showing. I'd like to see him win. [Sorry, Brandon] :p

Of course, now I gotta pull for the old-school player. Go Wade! :D

Imagine a finals between Wade and Landon, two American pool-playing competitors, a veteran versus a champion in the making! :)

I totally agree, JAM. Billy Johnson has been one of my favorites for 35 years and how can anyone pull against Landon. What a great kid and player.
